First International Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms

Dec 5, 2011 - Dec 9, 2011

Houston, US

The First International Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms will be held from 5 to 9 December 2011 in Houston, US.

Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques to communicate the network devices to transfer data. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behaviour, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences.

The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms.

The event will look at the design, development, analysis and optimisation of smart communication protocols and algorithms at various communication layers. The event programme is planned to include analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers and papers addressing key problems and solutions.

BILAT-USA (Grant Agreement no: 244434) and Link2US (Grant Agreement no: 244371) Projects are co-funded by the European Union’s Capacities Programme on International Cooperation under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Cooperation.
